Cool, laid back hostel vibe. Bed was comfy and had individual mosquito net. Breakfast was included and cooked and served by request, hot and delicious. Bathroom was spacious and clean.
Power went out as it often does in Palomino, apparently, which can't be helped...but owner/operator plugged our fans into the generator which was really appreciated because it was hot and humid.
Owner helped with taxi and activity reservations and allowed us to use a common shower to wash up after we checked out after spending the day on the beach--awesome!
Hammocks throughout, great for a midday nap.
Easy walk to the beach...you could just about hear the waves!

+ Very helpful staff who can book tours and provide suggestions on activities and onward travel.
+ Four-bed dorm and ensuite were huge and clean. Each bunk had outlets, a mosquito net, and small locker.
+ Amazing all-you-can-eat breakfast, including eggs, crepes, cereal, fruit, and toast. Be sure to have some of the homemade bread before it runs out!
+ Chantal, the owner, sometimes cooks dinner for guests. Make sure to sign up for it! The food is delicious, and it’s a nice way to socialize with other guests.
+ Good location just a few steps from the beach. You can hear the waves in the distance, but the quiet location allows you to get a good night’s sleep.
+ Nice hammocks to relax in.

I loved EVERYTHING! The owners are really nice and the home cooked food is to die for. The vibe is so special and feels like home. The facility is exceptionally clean. Super impressed. I stayed for one night but couldn’t have their breakfast which I heard rave reviews about so checked in another night after desert tour. It’s been fantastic. I stayed in the tent the second time and honestly loved it over the dorms which can get a bit warm. So much personal space. I would love to come back here. Thank you so much!!!

The staff, the hamacs, the breakfast and the quiet (the waves make a lot of noise so being a bit further from the beach makes for a good night sleep).

Lionel,

The breakfast was absolutely incredible, especially the fresh homemade bed. The room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. This room was about 60,000 COP more than we spent on all the other hostels on our trip, and the cleanliness and space were a huge plus.

Shantal, Mathias and his little kid, the new puppy( hopefully called Mox) and Francisco, made us feel so comfortable, We really enjoy the stay. The breakfast outstanding, delicious, as the dinner. The property is new, the rooms are clean. They tried to help us all the time. We hope to be back. thanks for everything

Great breakfast, staff & location. It's a 5 min walk to the beach and parallel to the street with all the hostels, restaurants etc. We slept in a dorm and the beds were very comfortable. Mosquito nets were a nice touch. Each dorm has a large and modern private bathroom. There are also outdoor showers and bathrooms for those checking out planning to stay for the day.

Wow. Excellent all-around! Comfortable dorm beds, big rooms, stellar cleanliness and bathrooms. Location is on the more peaceful, quiet side of Palomino (perfect for me). Beautiful property + most of all, excellent staff and owners (top of the top ever in that regard for me). Don't book that other place, this is the ONE, ONLY ONE in Palomino for me.

The best about this place is the friendliness of the staff. They do everything to make your stay memorable. They even organized some flowers in our room as it was our honeymoon! The breakfast was good, the dinner even better. Palomino was one of the highlights of our trip and this hostal with its great vibe is one of the reasons why.

Casa Chapolin is a must if you’re planning on visiting Palomino. The staff is helpful and friendly, it feels like home. Great breakfast (with homemade bread). Sometimes they cook dinner if enough people signs up for the daily menu, it’s an amazing experience to have a shared dinner with other guests.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Chapolin! It's a perfect place. The room was huge and the bed was very comfortable. The food was very delicious and we loved the breakfast with "Zopf" and Crêpes. We enjoyed the short distance to the sea and the quiet surrounding at the same time. The staff was very helpful and organized a lot of funny things such as stand up paddling for us. Not to forget the lovely owners Chantal and Matthias! They made our stay unforgettable!

Just keep in mind that the place has no air condition ( but fans in every room)!

Casa Chapolin has a very friendly, chilled, familiar atmosphere what I liked a lot. I met a lot travellers over 25 who I could share drinks with but who were not the pool party crowd. The breakfast was of course amazing and the massage of Gerson the best I ever had. I recommend this place to couples, solo travellers and everyone who just looks for a unique hostel to stay at and who likes it chilled. The most comfy dorm on my whole Colombia Trip!

As the hostel is located close to the beach, the road is more suitable for a 4 wheel drive car.

Great furniture in the room (Swedish design!), very practical for the beach. Proximity to the beach and to nearby restaurants. Amazing breakfast (especially the pancakes). Great staff!
